Slot Overview

Hermes Fortunes 2000 is EGT Digital’s mythology-themed slot that acts as a direct sequel to the original Hermes Fortunes. Here, you’ll be playing on a 6×5 grid with scatter pays, toppling reels, additive multipliers worth up to 2,000x in the Super Free Spins mode, a bonus buy option, a Clover Chance progressive jackpot, and a max win of 25,000x your stake. Yes, it has similarities to Gates of Olympus, but has EGT done enough to make Hermes Fortunes 2000 stand out? Let’s find out.

Gameplay & Bonus Features

Hermes Fortunes 2000 is played on a 6×5 grid. There are no paylines as wins are formed around a scatter pays system: 8+ matching symbols anywhere in view forms a win. After a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones drop down to take their place. Hermes Fortunes 2000 has a minimum bet of €0.20 and a maximum bet of €400, and the game’s RTp is solid: 96.8%.

Landing four, five, or six of the scatter symbols anywhere in view triggers the free spins feature, awarding you with ten free games during which you’ll see multiplier symbols worth between 2x and 2000x. During the free spins, if more than one multiplier symbol appears on the screen, their values are added together and the total game win is then multiplied by that figure. Any symbol can also randomly transform into a multiplier value. If you land three, four, five, or six additional scatters, you will receive plus five free spins.

Hermes Fortunes 2000 also offers a bonus buy mechanic, which can be purchased for 100x. You can also pay 500x to buy directly into the super free spins, where the multipliers have a minimum value of 20x.

Finally, Hermes Fortunes 2000 has EGT’s Clover Chance progressive jackpot system integrated, too. The jackpot feature is randomly triggered, and when it is, you will see 15 chests on your screen which you need to pick and match three matching pearls. The colour of the pearls corresponds to the jackpot you will be awarded.

Theme & Design

Ancient Greek mythology is a setting we’ve seen a lot in online video slots, and Hermes, the winged messenger god, takes centre stage here, complete with his iconic Caduceus staff, which acts as the main mechanic behind the multiplier. 

Visually, Hermes Fortune 2000 is well designed and polished, and you’ll see marble temples, cloud-covered mountain backdrops, and a variety of well-designed symbols that fill the grid. Yes, the Greek mythology slot is hardly new, and it’s a genre we’ve seen a million times before, but Hermes Fortunes 2000 at least looks the part, and it’s also fully mobile optimised, too.

Pros

  • Win up to 25,000x
  • Two Free Spins modes available
  • Clover Chance progressive jackpots available

Cons

  • Very similar to Gates of Olympus
  • Theme and design is overdone

Final Thoughts

Hermes Fortunes 2000 is a decent little slot that does most things well enough. The mechanics are solid, the free spins can pay, especially in the super version, and the Clover Chance jackpot mechanic adds an additional layer that Gates of Olympus simply doesn't have. The 96.8% RTP combined with two bonus buy options means there's decent value here too.

The issue for us is that the type of player that this game is designed for probably already has a favourite game. Gates of Olympus already exists, it's polished beyond belief, there are already a number of popular spin-offs, and EGT probably hasn't done quite enough for most players to justify switching from Pragmatic Play. The Greek mythology theme also feels very overdone at this point. 

With that being said, the 25,000x max win potential alongside the four progressive jackpots means Hermes Fortunes 2000 will still probably get some decent play time, just maybe not quite as much as the provider had hoped for.
